I have them and like them...but I have not had them on the track. At 30psi on the street they hold 1st gear on a full bolt-on and cammed ECS LS3 with Z51 gearing warmed up. So I couldn't imagine you would need to drop the pressure much or at all on the strip due to increase surface traction. Look on the P car forums because that is where I got all my info and they are all over these tires for the street and track.

I have 275's on the front and 305's on the rear. For autocross I really like 35psi up front and 31psi in the rear. At higher pressures the tire would lose grip with no auditory feedback. At rear pressures closer to the fronts, I get way to much oversteer.

I have noticed that these tires like a little more air than the GY Supercar run flats. I currently run 33 front and 31 rear. I take the rears down to 27 when I hit the drags. I have stock C6 sizes front and rear

I love the RE-11s for both the track and the strip and especially the street. I keep them at 30 all around cold, but the last track day we had was so hot, they got up to 37 in the front, 36 in the back, and I backed them off to 35 in between sessions.
I dropped the rears to 26 at the drag strip. The lower the better.

Racer
For road course work (Mosport raceway), I run 34/33 psi cold front/rear on my 265/305 stock wheel combo. Will probably take a pound or two off the rears. Great tires.

What HP will they hold versus Invos
I am adding ~ 100 RWHP to my CTSV. I currently have INVOS on the car but already know they will not hold the power. I will end up wityh 585 to 600 RWHP. How do you think they will handle (minimal spin) and cornering?

Pressures of 34 Front / 32 Rear seem to work well for my 265 Fronts / 305 Rears.
